Ok so i did what you said, made a widescreen project and imported the avi. Below I have standard and wide screen view to show you what im getting. I know I am doing something wrong just by looking at that image…?

LOL i completely agree with you but i have checked a MILLION times on my camera and it clearly says I’m shooting 4:3! AHHHH i will have to settle with masking the bars out when doing green screen

ok, within my hc1 i select to film 4:3 settings. When i import the footage to Premiere i select PAL 4:3.. is this what you meant? I can only import it when i set it to DV rather than HDV. Could this be causing the problem? The image itself is fine just with black bars at the top and bottom. I thought this may only be appearing on my comp screen so i viewed it on an external monitor and it was still there (although a little thinner) .. ? Thank you for your responses

[Peter_student]

Thanks for your reply.. No not vertical rather horizontal boxing. I am shooting in 4:3 yet, I’m still getting the bars…?

Hey, my friend brought over his sony hdv cam and we tried to capture it tru pp2 with no luck. I could only capture it when i changed the setting on the cam to DV rather than HDV..

Am a capturing true HDV or is it down converting?

Thanks in advance
